What the gurus are saying

Experts split on this wand's value for red light therapy. One perspective: the small head severely limits facial coverage, so you're only treating the area you actively work on. The other: it delivers the correct wavelength (650-700 nanometers) to penetrate skin and genuinely helps healing wounds and fissures. For targeted wound care, it works well; for broader facial treatment, surface area concerns matter.

"The solo one is one of them I think it's great for lymphatic drainage I don't think the red light therapy is doing it. It's too small of a head, it's not covering the surface. So when you're doing red light therapy, surface area that you're covering, whether it's one of these masks or the iRestore hat or the big panel, the surface area is important. And red light therapy in a thing that is this small, you're wasting your money. I think it's great for lymphatic drainage because I believe that there's a vibration on it, but don't think that you're going to get a good red light therapy from that."

"You've got this little wand of red light that you're moving around your face. Think about moving the size of this kind of wand, the tip of this around your face. Imagine you're only getting red light in the area that you're moving the wand."

"The Solawave is something I didn't think was going to work, but it's about the size of a pen and it charges very conveniently. I was able to take it with me and I shoved it on my burn to make my burn heal faster, and damn does this thing work. When testing it out, it's the right wavelength. It actually penetrates into the skin, whereas the FOREO absolutely does not."

How I Healed My MASSIVE Curling Iron Burn In 45 Days...
"I thought that this was going to be something I would tear apart because LED is very hard to do, you have to get it at the right wavelength and then you have to get it to penetrate and it has to be strong enough. But yes there is a bunch of science about the red LED light specifically in that 650 to 700 nanometer range it helps with collagen induction and creating more collagen, it helps with inflammation, it's wonderful for the skin and the structure. I took this with me and I actually started pressing this right here for about five to ten minutes a day and this ended up being so freaking helpful. I really think that it was either this or the eye cream or maybe a combination of the two that has completely transformed this. I've never used LED on a healing wound before, at least not on myself on my own like fissured skin, and literally I've been just kind of doing this. It's actually quite relaxing. This works very very well. These two things have been absolutely phenomenal."
